About

Handmade Jewellery Made with Love and Care

Please follow me on Facebook - http://bit.ly/2686uPq

I've been making jewellery in my studio in Cheshire, England, for around 16 years; its my dream job as it mostly doesn't feel like work. Each piece of my handmade jewellery is made by me by hand. My 'assistants ' are my 4 cats who come up to the studio and lie around in various places giving their silent feline support punctuated by the occasional snore.

I love using unusual 'ingredients' in my creations and like many artists, am a bit of a hoarder' that is to say I will sometimes hang on to something for 20 or more years before it occurs to me to use it, that's part of the joy of creating, forgetting that something is there and then coming across it and realising that its perfect for the piece I am currently working on; its almost as wonderful as going shopping for it the first time. Most of what I make is one of a kind or one of a very short run and that's because, as someone who makes everything I have for sale, I like to have a varied work day!

Favourite materials would include Murano/Venetian glass; I have a deep connection with Venice as I have been trading with Murano for around 20 years. Over that time I have come to know many of the artisans and have a deep appreciation for the history of the glassmakers art. I try to visit Murano at least a couple of times a year to keep in touch with the people there and to be tempted in purchasing from them.
Besides Murano glass, I also work with sterling silver, 14kt goldfill and/or copper, Swarovski Crystal Elements, vintage beads, freshwater pearls and artist-made lampwork glass, and most especially the components or beads made by fellow artists. Sometimes I have phases of being attracted to specific materials for a short period of time, I like to play with techniques and tools and colours. I also stock a variety of vintage items I just couldn't resist.

Each and every piece of handmade jewellery is made with love and care, each piece is meticulously checked for quality because I want you to enjoy wearing it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Shipping

THE PRICE OF POSTAGE
* Apologies for the rising costs of postage and packing - this is down to the post office, as I do not make a profit from postage! Unfortunately postage costs have risen considerably in the UK (as they have all over the world). Sad but true.

WHAT POSTAL SERVICES DO I USE?
* In the UK I use First Class Recorded Delivery, overseas I use the best value airmail postal service available (not insured or tracked) - if you would like your item to be tracked and insured, please do let me know and I will arrange this for you and look into any further costs applicable to your purchase.

CUSTOMS CHARGES
* For overseas customers, please note that your item may go through your local customs office; any customs or local taxes/charges on your purchase are your responsibility.

DELIVERY DISCLAIMER
* I will try my best to get something to you for your specific date, but this cannot be guaranteed.

* Please allow enough time for your item to be delivered to your corner of the world - it takes time for things to whizz through the post, and then they sometimes get caught up in customs - please take that into consideration when you purchase.

* I am sorry, but I cannot be held responsible for an item not arriving in time for a specific event - if you are at all concerned, please contact me BEFORE ordering. I always keep customers informed when items are mailed, and I always provide tracking information.

ARRANGING A COURIER
* If you would like me to mail your item via courier, this of course can be arranged - please brace yourself for the cost though! I will try hard to get the best deal I can, so if you need something in a hurry, this is an option I can arrange with you.

Refunds and Exchanges

* I hope you will be delighted with your purchase which will be made with love and care. In over 14 years of trading through my own website I have had very few problems and I try hard to keep my customers happy - if you're happy I hope you'll come back or even tell your friends about my jewellery shop.

PIERCED EARRINGS
* Pierced earrings are not refundable/returnable for hygiene reasons - if your earrings however are faulty in some way then of course I can work with you.

IF RETURNING AN ITEM POSTAGE COST DETAILS
* If you return an item, you are responsible for paying your own postage and your refund will be less the postage fees I have already paid out for you (at my discretion).

RETURN DETAILS
* If you return your purchase you should return the item in its original packaging, unworn and in the same condition it was in when you received it.
Return your item with any free gifts you received, and please ensure that everything is packaged carefully.

I advise you use a tracking and/or a signed for service in case the package goes astray in the mail. The buyer is responsible for return postage costs.

WHEN DO I RECEIVE A REFUND WHEN RETURNING AN ITEM?
I will refund when the item has been delivered back to me.

CANCELLING AN ORDER
* You may cancel your order any time before it is mailed if you wish to (though obviously, I hope you won't want to!)

VINTAGE ITEMS
Vintage items will show some signs of wear and tear by previous owners. I try hard to describe items accurately - if you have any questions about an item, please contact me.

CUSTOM ORDERS -

* Please, please observe the time needed to create your special something when you purchase it - sometimes I have to specially order components to make something. If you are in a tearing hurry, let me know and I will do my best to work with you.

* Please note - cancellation terms above do not apply to custom items made especially for you - once it's made, it's sold - no refunds or returns on special orders once they have been created (unless faulty, of course).

Additional policies and FAQs

PRESENTATION
* All my packages go out carefully and attractively wrapped (because I like to imagine you opening it at the other end!).

Want something in a different colour,/size/length? I might be able to assist.

WE SPEAK FRENCH
* Oui! Nous parlons Francais. (Yes, we speak French - well, actually my husband does but it you want to parlez with us, please feel free!)

RESERVE AN ITEM
* I can reserve items prior to purchase for up to a week - let me know if you'd like me to do this.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY PURCHASE TO ARRIVE?
* I will try my best to get your purchase to you for your specific date, but this cannot be guaranteed.
First Class/Recorded mail in the UK usually takes up to 3 working days.

- Deliveries to the USA are approx. 7 - 10 working days, though this may be longer or shorter, depending on the time of year - for instance, Christmas. Your item may or may not then be with your customs offices for a while. This is out of my control, sorry.

To the rest of the World - please ask if you need information prior to purchase - I will do my best to find out for you.

* Please allow enough time for your item to be delivered to your corner of the world - it takes time for things to process through the post, and then they sometimes get caught up in customs - please take that into consideration when you purchase.

DELIVERY DISCLAIMER
* I am sorry, but I cannot be held responsible for an item not arriving in time for a specific event - if you are at all concerned, please contact me BEFORE ordering. I always keep customers informed when items are mailed, and I always provide tracking information.

WOULD YOU LIKE DELIVERY BY COURIER?
* If you would like me to mail your item via courier, this of course can be arranged - please brace yourself for the cost though! I will try hard to get the best deal I can, so if you need something in a hurry, this is an option I can arrange with you.
